Progression Coach, Tyneside

I'm Ben Hutchins, Villiers Park Progression Coach for the Tyneside area. I have spent the last four years completing a Politics BA (Hons) and Philosophy MLitt at Newcastle University. My academic experiences have inspired the same socially conscious values that are at the core of Villiers Park's mission of Fairness, Aspiration, Empowerment and Courage. I look to take the lessons I learnt during my postgraduate research into the social psychoanalysis of self-help practices into my new role on Tyneside. My aim is to awaken Newcastle's next generation as to the breadth of their possibilities, and inspire our young adults to fulfill their worldly potentials. 

Aside from my work at Villiers Park, I still pursue my academic interests (although now just as a hobby). I'm also what I might (politely) call a 'food enthusiast' (certainly more of a 'professional eater' than a 'chef'). I'm hoping to further explore Newcastle, and seek out all of the (more civilised) places I didn’t go as a student.
